M2.03 - LDPE Powder Recycling
Converting LDPE plastic waste into recyclable form.
Sponsor: Minigrip
Student Team: Ben Dudek, Tucker Fredrickson, Marco Baca, Juan Rodriguez
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Austin Talley & Dr. Michelle Londa
MiniGrip has been accumulating LDPE plastic powder as a byproduct of raw materials shipments. Our goal is to convert this unusable plastic waste into a recyclable form. This will be done by melting the powder through a single-screw extruder and molding it into solid bricks, making the bulk density high enough for recyclers to accept.
